My Private Area for Personal Storage, Staging, and Sharing!
What a long story from thought origin to end decision on storage sheds. Typical of Lou and me though… how did we go from floor buffer to storage sheds?
It started out a discussion with Lou about buying a floor buffer so that I can scrub and completely clean the lanai and garage deck. Ahh, where to store the … Continue Reading “Storage space expansion”
Lou and I (finally) got invited over to Justin’s and Rachelle’s place. He bought a house in Ewa Gentry Tuscany II subdivision. Seems like a cozy place, tho in a very tight yard/lot. But… that’s par for the course here in Hawaii.
Mom has been wanting to have sidewalks built on both sides of her house, especially since grass on each side doesn’t grow well (not enough sunlight underneath the overhang). Today Tony Galang and his crew came over to start the prep and initial digging. I had to go over with boltcutters to cut off the rusted… Continue Reading “Mom’s house project”

New Year present of sorts. The solar water heater piping from the garage to the house busted, and for two weeks we had to go out to the garage to turn on hot water and then turn off when done. Had to get the piping replaced and re-run to the house… what a royal pain in the @$$…

Peaches moved into her new house in the Ewa Sunrise complex and we helped her get it into shape… painting, putting up shelving in the closets, etc.. It was a 2-3 day affair, but an all family affair at that. Lou pretty much spearheaded the painting with all of us helping and taking direction from her. I did… Continue Reading “Peaches Bought Her House”

We’d been talking about extending the back porch into a small lanai for some time now, because it just wasn’t enough room from the rain when we smoke. As the contemplating went on, I also decided I need a 3rd car garage to get my truck off the street. Initial thoughts were just a concrete carport slab… Continue Reading “Built Out the Lanai and Garage Extension”
Pics of the yard prep I had to do to get ready for Arthur and his gang to build out the porch and a new lanai, and an extended garage.
